She Lets Me In

From Big Smith, one of my favorite bands.  These are the chords played, as best I can figure them out.  Pretty all the verses have the CDG pattern except one.  These guys need to get up to Nashville so I don't need to drive 8 hours to see them.

SHE LETS ME IN
(Mark Bilyeu / Jeff Wiens)
C        D          G
I was so sad and so lonely
C               D            G
Out walkin' the streets once again
C       D           G        C
She was chasin' the barflies out
         C   D  G
When she let me in

We talked a couple of hours
We shared a bottle of gin
We stammered and stumbled to her front door
When she let me in

The boys at the bar they amuse her
For a tip she might flash them a grin
But she saves up her laughter 'till after she's home
When she lets me in

F              G            C
Now there's no more sad and lonely nights
         F         G            C
When I'm near the warmth of her skin
F                  G          C             F
She turns back the covers and turns off the light
         F   G  C
And she lets me in

When I come home late from drinkin'
And runnin' around with my friends
You think she'd put me in the doghouse
But she lets me in

You ask what I treasure about her
It's hard to know where to begin
But I'll start with the way that she opens her heart
And she lets me in
